To further explore some of my original ideas I created
a few quick experimentations to depict how the ideas would come together. The guilty
is done in Bodoni, highlighting the influence the segregation has on the members
of the community in terms of the case, being a traditional typeface;
representing traditional and racist views of the people. This was then print
and ‘not guilty’ written with a pen in the left hand, representing the way in which
Tom Robinson cannot use his left hand, which is key proof that he was of
innocence.

| Cover Mockup |
Mocked up onto a cover this design is completely monochrome,
relaying the importance of the concept behind the imagery. Bodoni was further
used for the author name and title to keep the focus on the difference between
the computer generated and hand text, leading the audience to consider its
meaning and depth more.

| Collage |
This is a further experimentation of the sketch in
which the hands are tearing apart the flowers, I have further developed the
idea creating it from hand collage techniques. The hands feature vitiligo
hands, a skin condition which affects the pigmentation of skin, in this case it
is representing the segregation of the races in the book. The scene of the
garden is important in the children’s moral development; this is why the hands
have been placed above them depicting the influence the adult community and its
nature of the town is influencing the children. In Scout’s case her morals
remain pure and innocent, here represented in the clear gaps between the
florals, even though these events are happening around her she remains with the
metaphor statement about the mockingbird.

| Cover Mockup |
The cover mock-up keeps the collage in its simplest
form, keeping the conceptual idea to its most basic of visual, with digital
text superimposed over it. If this idea was chosen the concept visualisation
would be developed into a more polished final outcome.
